There are multiple interesting articles on their blog, from marketing, brand building to motivation and study cases from big brands.

There are also various ways to build an ecommerce website, google is your friend. If you pay someone to build for you, always take care at security, and by that i mean the passwords.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Social media is best move for a cheap and profitable marketing that can yield significant results in sales and brand recognition. Identify the top bloggers, vloggers, youtubers, influencers in your market on various platforms and hit them up.

Treat customer inquiries with endless compassion. Remember, at the end of the day you want to make your NOW customer in a LOYAL costumer, happy and hopefully persuade them to return.

PAID ADS works great and have a good ROI ( Return on investments). For every click you will pay cents so $0,1 x 1000 clicks (potential costumers) -> $100. You need only a sale to return the money, plus you get brand recognition too. Paid ads are tricky,

PROMOS and DEALS

Keep costumers in a continuous alert with deals and products on sale for a maximum productivity on website, combine these PROMOS with ADS and you get a SALE success recipe, combine with a holiday or festival and you get BANK.

FREE GIFTS

Who don’t like free stuffs? Incentive your potential costumers with free gifts or small samples from another hair products, maybe next time will buy that product too! Make clearly for buyer, that will receive a gift, is a good tactic to add in this mini ad in photo, too. There are plenty of cheap related hair products and accessories at cents on Aliexpress (if you buy some) or DHGate (if you buy more).

Professional HD photos and good description

Indeed, so upload on your website REAL photos with high definition and fewer effects. Make sure you reveal the characteristics of the hair extensions. Untill people will return to your good products, they don’t know what to expect, so make it easier with some quality photos.

There are plenty of templates and tables with description. A good description make the product sell better, so choose the right worlds. Some inspiration from other sellers does not hurt anyone.
